I'm fairly new in the area, so I want to verify this with someone "in the know". But by my understanding, the Lawrence Expressway does not begin (/end) in Mountain View, or even pass through it, but rather in Sunnyvale at the intersection with CA-237, roughly 2.5 miles ENE of Mountain View. Is this correct? Should the summary in the article be changed?
Yes, this is correct, and I have changed the entry to reflect this.
[edit] Gateway97's sudden move of the page
I'm going on record as disagreeing with the move to "Expressway System," (since Wikipedia style is to keep titles in lower case as much as possible except for proper nouns) but as it appears from a quick Google search that the county government inconsistently uses both "Expressway System" and "expressway system," I will concede that either usage could be treated as the official name and thus I will not challenge this move for now. --Coolcaesar 00:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Extents of expressways
[1] lists mileage by city, with a total of 62.24 miles of expressway. The speed limit code generally lists termini. There's also the Santa Teresa Expressway, which appears to really be Santa Teresa Boulevard and not really an expressway (yet?).
- Almaden Expressway, Harry Road to Almaden Road, 8.9 mi
- Capitol Expressway, Almaden Expressway to I-680, 9.3 mi
- Central Expressway, San Antonio Road to De la Cruz Boulevard, 9.7 mi (partly locally maintained?)
- Foothill Expressway, Page Mill Road to I-280, 7.1 mi (partly locally maintained?)
- Lawrence Expressway, Saratoga Avenue to SR 237, 8.4 mi
- Montague Expressway, US 101 to I-680, 5.9 mi (partly locally maintained?)
- Oregon Page Mill Expressway, I-280 to US 101, 4.7 mi (partly locally maintained?)
- San Tomas Expressway, SR 17 to US 101, 8.2 mi (partly locally maintained?)
This is 62.2 miles - extremely close! --NE2 03:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
